Alle Kapitel von Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Kapitel 811 – Kapitel 820

Hayden suddenly thought of something and went downstairs ahead of the others to take care of the seating. His own seat was on the far right of the second row, and he had already asked the staff to keep three seats there for him.After Sienna and Xena took their seats, they looked up at the promotional video playing on the screen. It was a montage of photos taken inside hospitals. Three of the images clearly showed Miranda. The sight felt jarring to Sienna. She turned to glance at Xena, but Xena looked calm and composed, as if she were not affected at all.Sienna told herself that Xena’s calmness came from knowing how to act appropriately. After all, this was the launch event for Felix’s foundation, and Xena was putting the bigger picture first.Sienna quietly let out a breath and followed her example, forcing down her own displeasure.The hall was dim, and the host announced with energetic enthusiasm, “Next, please welcome the CEO of the Gibson Corporation and Chairman of the Gibso

After Miranda finished her speech, she bent slightly to bow in thanks. A loose strand of hair fell against her cheek. She casually brushed it aside and tucked it behind her ear, a faint smile on her lips.That small, unintentional gesture caused the gazes of Felix and Leo in the audience to darken at the same time.“That was incredible,” the host said excitedly as he stepped onto the stage. Faced with such a brilliant woman, he couldn’t help but extend his hand.Miranda politely reached out and shook his hand briefly. In that moment, the expressions on Felix’s and Leo’s faces turned noticeably cold. Anyone could tell the host was deliberately using the opportunity to shake her hand.“Let us once again thank Dr. Stone for her wonderful presentation.”After stepping off the stage, Miranda didn’t want to return to her seat from the side where Xena and Sienna were sitting. As she passed by the front row, a voice stopped her.“Dr. Stone.”Miranda immediately leaned forward slightly.

“It looks like you really stole the spotlight today.”A voice filled with open hostility came from behind her.Miranda saw Sienna in the mirror, arms crossed as she leaned against the doorframe. Her red lips curled into a mocking smile.Miranda didn't turn around, nor did she offer a response.“What kind of strings did you pull to get Felix to let you speak on stage?” Sienna continued. “There are plenty of professors and academicians who are more authoritative and more well-known than you. Yet you were the one up there speaking. Don’t tell me you didn’t use his influence. I don’t believe that for a second.”Miranda glanced at her through the mirror and still chose not to engage.Sienna was irritated by Miranda’s complete disregard. She gave a cold snort. “You know it yourself. You wouldn’t be where you are today if Felix hadn’t lifted you up every step of the way. But you can’t keep pushing your luck and being endlessly greedy.”Only then did Miranda turn to look at her. Sienna

Felix returned to the hall shortly afterward. As he walked back to his seat, he saw Miranda leaning back quietly in the dim light, her silhouette carrying a lonely, distant air.Leo sat beside her, like a quiet guardian at her side.Just then, Dr. Zeller stood up while on a phone call and walked toward Felix. Felix put on a polite smile and exchanged a brief greeting with him.When Felix returned to his seat, the manager on stage was still explaining the concrete steps of the foundation’s three-year plan.Elsewhere, Xena noticed that Sienna hadn’t returned to her seat. A trace of concern crossed her face as she took out her phone and sent a message.“Sienna, why haven’t you come back yet?”A reply came quickly. “Xena, I argued with Felix. I’m not going back.”Xena was startled and immediately asked, “What happened? Do you need me to help?”Sienna replied at once. “Xena, don’t worry about it. This is between me and Miranda. It has nothing to do with you. I don’t want to drag you

Sienna tossed her phone aside and leaned back against the seat. “Finally. I’m not angry anymore. I feel better now.”Xena smiled. “Felix dotes on you the most. He won’t hold this against you. But…” She hesitated.“But what?” Sienna immediately sat up straight.Xena sighed softly. “But Felix really does need Miranda’s technical support right now. Sienna, for the time being, you should endure it and stop provoking her.”A trace of gloom flickered across Sienna’s eyes, but she quickly forced a smile. “I know. For his career, I’ll tolerate her.” Then she added admiringly, “Xena, you’re so understanding. You really know Felix and the pressure he’s under.”Xena brushed her long hair back. “Of course. I’ve known him for over ten years.”“He really is clueless,” Sienna complained. “When is he ever going to propose to you?” She could hardly wait for Xena to officially become part of the family.Xena’s gaze shifted slightly. “No rush. Let him get through this busy period first.”Sienna l
